Hi John, this is nothing to do with this post, but I didn't know how else to reach you. I spent a while yesterday having a go at some inking and wondered if you would be kind enough to offer any criticism of it.

When i was a young kid, i used to look forward to doctor's visits purely for their collection of golden books.

People say they enjoyed 80's cartoons because they didn't understand visual principles as kids, but that's a lie. A concept of what is beautiful and "right" is inherent within us, and is universal. Obviously, the people who made Scooby Doo knew this, and secretly hated themselves.

I need to buy this Blair book, i have always been in awe of her work. It's a level of artistry i know i could never reach, i can't comprehend the genesis of such an amazing style (where do you start?!). That i can still remember actual pages of those books, 20 years on, is testament to that.

Do you think Amazon would ship to Australia? I've never dealt with them, but I can imagine it would be difficult to source here.
